Euprenic Court—Will Tell Names of Alleged Accomplices. New York, July 8.—On the author- 1ty of Charles Becker’s counsel, Max- #in T. Manton,'it was said today trat if Becker fails in his’appeal to the United Statss Supreme court he wiil, before going to the 'slectric. chair for the murder of Herman . Rosenthal, make a public disclosure. of thg names of the men with whém he'is alieged to have divided $100,000 ‘in graft money collected from gambfers and keepers of illegal resorts during his career as heéad of the police strong arm squad,”,Six men, some of them police department officials, ‘are un- derstood to be involved in the state- ment Becker ‘has '‘prepared while awaiting the outcome of appeals to Governor Whitman and the . United States Supreme court. “BecKer will make a clean breas: of the grafting,” said Mr. Manton. “He realizes his.perilous position and does not want to dle, if die he must: and leave a set of men to use others as he has been used He wishes Lo have the truth off ‘his mind as soon s possible.” Conflicting statement and denials by some of the informers against Bec. ker and by others confused the sit- wation . today. One clear point was that the informers could not deny their testimony against Becker with- out violating thé contract under which hey were granted immunity by the state’s repres®ntatives. Under . this agreement they were 'to enjoy im- munity unless shown to be guilty of perjury. , BELGIAN STEAMER SUNK. Boquaknat Sent to Bottom By German . Submarine. London, July 3, 11:55 A.
